A Hawaiian parent on both sides

Weedmaps describes Hawaiian as a family of sativa landraces from different islands, such as Maui Wowie, Kona Gold and Kauai Electric, with tropically sweet flavors and a peppered citrus aroma; neither Barney’s Farm nor Leafly says which Hawaiian line went into its cross, so a shared ancestor is possible but undocumented.1,2,7 Pineapple Express became famous through the 2008 film of the same name.2
